be cooled down to temperature of
sixty degrees Fahrenheit within an

COLLARS FOR HORSES.
Why Every Animal Should Have a Perfect.
Fitting Harness.

Why Every Animal Should Have a Perfect.
Fitting Harness.
A repcntant colored woman arose in
the conference room and said: "Let
every tub stand on its own bottom.''
There is a volume of meaning in that
short exhortation. So we say to farm
ers, let every horse have collar that
will fit his neck as comfortably as an
easy hat sits on farmers head. Let
every horse also have harness that
will fit his body quite as well as a pair
OF new shoes fit the feet of an intelli-
gent driver. A collar should not be so
long that one can thrust his leg in the
large space between the lower. end of
the collar and the neck of the horse.
Neither should the collar be so broad
that man can put one arm between
the collar and one side of the animals
neck. More than this, the collar should
not be 80 short as to choke the horse
when he is drawing.
A few years ago we were visiting
oelghbor who was hauling stone with
ais horse-seam, one of which was
large and beautiful young horse whose
neck was too large for any collar in the
possession of its owner. The result
was, that short collar so severely
,hoked the young horse that he fell
datly to the ground four times, while
drawing load less than one-fourth of
mile. At our suggestion the lower
end OF the collar was cut apart and the
strap at the top Of the names was ad-
iusted so that the lower ends of the
collier were more than three inches
apart The horse was not choked
again by the collar. Last season a
neighbor. who had good old horse,
could not crowd collar over the ami
mails head. that was small enough to
suit his neck. The consequence was
the large collar CALLED the neck badly.
We cut out of the lower end of the COL
lar piece about three inches long.
The collar then suited the small neck
so that no more wounds were made.
A harness that fits the body of large
horse will not suit smaller one. un-
less the back strap, the hip straps and
the girth straps are buckled shorter.
When the names are properly adjusted
to tit the collar of large horse, the
strap at the top should always be ad-
justed as well as the strap at the bot
tom so that there will he a good fit
when the harness is to be used on q
small horse or mule. The staples or
iron eyes, or loops, that hold the side
straps to the names, are usually placed
quite too high or too far up from the
lower ends of the names. For small
horses we have taken the staples out of
the h mes and put them two to three
inches lower. The point of draft is fire.
quently halfway from the lower to the
upper side of the animals neck; where
as, the draft should be not more than
two inches above the point of the
shoulder. Let the strap be let out
longer or buckied shorter until every
part of harness fits properly. -Grjsa
